Runaway Inequality: An Activist’s Guide To Economic Justice
with
Les Leopold, award-winning author; cofounded and directs the
Labor Institute in NYC; conducts and shares economic educational
programs to help fight runaway inequality
“There is nothing in the economic universe that will automatically rescue us
from runaway inequality. There is no pendulum, no invisible political force
that “naturally” will swing back towards economic fairness…Either we wage
a large-scale battle for economic, social and environmental justice or we will
witness the continued deterioration of the world we inhabit. The arc of
capitalism does not bend towards justice . We must bend it.” Leopold’s
Runaway Inequality puts the facts in our hands so we can grasp what is
really going on in our economy – and what we can do about it.

Election that bodes ill for the Haitian people!
with
Kim Ives, An Editor of Haïti Liberté
To prevent the Haitian people from celebrating the Bicentennial of the
country’s 1804 independence, the International Community unleashed a
vast media campaign of propaganda against the then government. The
end result was not only the landing of a group of mercenaries from the
neighboring Dominican Republic, under the control of the CIA, but also a
brutal, and bloody coup. Since then, France, the United States and Canada
have occupied Haiti under the flag of the United Nations and one current
manifestation of imperialist domination was these governments without
consulting the Haitian people deciding that there would be an election.
Huge sums of money have been freed up for this event, while the victims of
the earthquake are still housed under makeshift tents and tarps with little or
no protection against heavy rains, not to mention hurricanes. Kim Ives an
editor of Haïti Liberté the largest Haitian weekly newspaper, distributed
throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Haiti talks about the
political situation on the ground in Haiti and the upcoming elections, as the
campaign season for the final round of Haiti's elections is concluding and
as of yet the second-place finisher in the presidential vote still hasn't
decided whether he will participate in a runoff or continue to press for a
recount in an election that has already been shown to have been patently
fraudulent
